Comment on Why did we give up on insulation?

Another person who found you from all, so probably not welcome to comment, but on the chance I am…
I always wondered about this! It does work both ways. Every time there’s a heat wave that kills some of your elderly, I’m constantly shocked because where I live (US Deep South) we hit crazy high temps for extended periods of time and lose fewer people. With our population being insanely high compared to y’all I just… can’t with that.
Makes me want to come over there, develop a way to retrofit your homes, and get to work. Climate change means you’ll have more unbearable heat and more unbearable cold moving forward, not less!

In Texas we had a big freeze a few years ago and much of the state lost power. My house only got down to the 60s when it was well below freezing outside with no power inside.
